  • How does this medication work?

    Diflucan® (fluconazole) is an antifungal medication that fights fungal infections in your body. Though you may know about its use for treating yeast infections, it’s actually also used to treat a number of other ailments. Diflucan® works by stopping the growth of Candida in the infected area of the body.

  • What are the side effects of this medication?

    Side effects of Diflucan® include headache, nausea, and upset stomach. Other side effects may occur, including vomiting, dizziness, and a metallic taste in your mouth.

  • Can I take this medication with other medications?

    Taking Diflucan® with other medications is usually safe. However, it may interact with some medications or supplements, including clopidogrel. Diflucan® may also slow down the removal of other medications from your body, which can affect how they work. To make sure there are no interactions with your medication, tell your medical provider about any prescription drugs, over the counter medications, supplements or herbal remedies you take before starting treatment.

  • Are there any risks when taking this medication?

    Inform your medical provider if you have any allergies. Stop taking your medication if you develop a serious allergic reaction. Before taking Diflucan®, inform your medical provider if you have liver disease, kidney disease, and heart problems. It is best to avoid alcohol while taking Diflucan®. If Diflucan® causes dizziness, do not drive or use machinery. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your medical provider.

  • How quickly does this medication work?
